Abstract

Recent New Testament scholarship has drawn attention to the importance of hospitality in the theology and practices of Jesus and the earliest Christians, especially in Luke-Acts. What has often been overlooked, however, is the relationship Luke-Acts maintains between hospitality and the Christological interpretation of Scripture. By closely analyzing three passages that depict this relationship (Luke 16:19â31, 24:13â35, and Acts 8:26â40), this chapter argues that Luke-Acts presents hospitality as an important presupposition for its Christological interpretation of Scripture. Building on this hermeneutic, it will then suggest how the church might better unite hospitality and scriptural interpretation in the on-going work of spiritual formation.
